Usually before I read posts like yours I think, "Oh, no, I'm going to feel like a failure again." However, as I reassess myself, and this past year, I realize I haven't done too badly. Yes, I've drunk to excess on occasion, but had many AF days in a row, too. But for me, I am proudest of the fact that I did meet my biggest challenge: taking loving care of my mother. I see the appreciation in her eyes, and I gladly accept her dependence on me. I believe the woman finally understands what unconditional love is. She knows I will come through for her.

Yes, there are things I need to work on: my overall health, and my relationships, but for right now, I'm doing my best. If I try to be perfect, I will truly fail.

I will remain positive, and work toward the betterment of my life and the world around me.

Juja

Hi Juja, its great that you are seeing positive changes and that your relationship with your mum has reached the level it has. I have highlighted one part of your above post, for we are only human, perfection is impossible and we need to forgive ourselves our imperfections. If we strive to be a better, kinder person then we should find peace with that imo.


A big hello to my krill scoffing pal Coco nutcase, nice to see you posting.

I wouldn't say you are moping Zen, I would say you are keeing in touch with your feelings and sharing them. That's a positive thing for I know personally that my default setting for coping with grief is hiding in the bottom of a bottle. So you post away, no kicking of nether regions needed.

Well.... I just posted about Sean's exit to the Rainbow Bridge on Facebook.... it felt awful... like the final curtain.

I have a very hard time dealing with mortality. And I'm really starting to see how much "numbing" I've done over the years. In all honesty, I think I have a problem dealing with life! Let alone death!!!

Very introspective here today. Please feel free to boot me in the arse and tell me to get my groove going. This moping isn't helping anything at all is it?

No booting in the arse Zenners.:l
I think the fact that you are grieving about Sean's passing is completely normal.
It's still very recent. You need time, that's all. And he will always be in your heart. You gave him such a good home. But you can't be expected to forget him over night. :l

Nope, moping doesn't help, but sometimes things are what they are. I won't tell you chin up, etc., because maybe you're not moping, just feeling sad, which is perfectly normal. Death is hard. Give yourself a break and feel what you're feeling--you're human, remember? The feeling will pass.

Tomorrow's another day...and it will probably be a bit brighter.

Love
Juja:h

You're not moping zenny, you're grieving, so a kick up the bum isn't going to help at all. I'm pretty dreadful at dealing with mortality too, so I think I have some idea of how shitty you're feeling. Go ahead and talk about it as much as you want if it'll help you to come to terms with what has happened.

You guys are so darn supportive... I should have known you would understand. I :h yous all...
